Is it normal to have a high number of people on the season ticket waiting list DESPITE the number of current season ticket holders being lower than the capacity of your stadium?
For instance, at Stuttgart in 2025, I've become give or take the 2nd or 3rd most popular/reputable club in Germany. The stadium capacity is around 60,000. My average attendance is around 50-60,000 depending on who we are facing. The number of season ticket holders is around 37,000, but the waiting list is 75,000.
From what I can tell over the past seasons, is that the waiting list increases at a higher rate than the number of season ticket holders. Why would the wait list be such a large number when there still is a gap of around 23,000 between season ticket holders and stadium capacity? I get that not ALL of the seats should be given to season ticket holders.
Is there something IRL or some mechanism that I am missing? I am using a number of editor files though, so perhaps there's an issue there? Is anyone from vanilla experiencing the same thing?
